Journal Club #35: Feeding Kratom to Goats
/

Dr. Jon and Brian explore a study out of Thailand where goats meat goats ate feed supplemented with dried kratom leaves. What effect did this have on the goats body weight, cholesterol, blood, and feed conversion ratio? Even if it does work, will farmers be able to afford kratom as a feed supplement, given the newly legal market in Thailand?

Also we look at a case of serotonin syndrome after a 63 year old man on multiple medications introduced kratom without consulting his doctor. Then we talk about Tom Segura and kratom.
